Driveline question

Over the weekend I did this.



The driveline was stock. But it did take a direct blow from a rock. Are there materials that I could have a driveline made out of that could handle that? Also does anyone make a dana 60 pinion guard?

SWEET!!! :yelclap: HA! Not really... I'm sure you could make it out of whatever you wanted to as long as it will balance and don't mind the added lbs. DOM maybe? No one offers a pinion guard for a D60. You would have to custom fab one if you wanted one. IIRC

Offroad only, you could go 4 spline and weld it up yourself. Or you can get some thicker round tube and be a little more civilized.

Drivelines aside, the picture is priceless man hehe

for low speed offroad use only i have seen guys use square tube. yea it is crude but it works. with square tube you can have one heck of a slip yoke. and yes it will clang.

How about using some 2.5 x .25 dom?

The 4 spline they are talking about is implement driveshaft material. You can get the yokes (and slip yokes) and everything right off the shelf at most any farm implement store, little welding needed.

You say it was "Stock". What does that mean on a modified vehicle?
Was it a stock Rear shaft, or a Stock Front shaft?

If a Rear, it's just tubing. Choose a thicker tube, or I have also seen them sleeved.

If a Front shaft being used in the rear, did it break at the splines, or someplace else. Maybe a driveshaft from a larger vehicle?

If you are not running a SYE and a double cardan shaft, perhaps that wouldn't be a bad idea to get one and rotate that pinion up abit so you have more clearance on the drive shaft.

Just build a DOM replacement.

Should of got a ZJ.. Way more reliable
